This morning I woke up at 8:00, poured myself a mason jar of iced coffee and then I went over to my calendar to assess the situation. As it turns out I have been on summer vacation for officially three weeks. There is this part of me that gets antsy around this time every summer because as much as I want to enjoy it/make the most of it/sing to high heavens that I’m in love with it, I can always feel it slipping away at the same time, which makes me a little sad. I know this is ridiculous. I know that some people get no official vacation to speak of at all and so I tell myself to QUIT IT. Just soak it in, girl. Things are GOOD.
Here are just a few things I’ve been loving, reading, buying, seeing…
I’ve been wearing this swimsuit a ton this summer. I love the pattern {I got it in green, too!} and the fit is perfect. Usually a j.crew swim suit lover, this year I tried Boden and I love them. They have SO much cute stuff {like this and this and this and this}, I kind of want it all.
I know I’ve been instagramming and twittering the bejesus out of this book, but WILD. Seriously, wonderful. Loved the way Cheryl told her story– I thought the pacing was perfect and her writing terrific and her adventure… well, just read it. You will love it.
I’ve been making iced coffee a few days a week this summer {honestly, it’s so easy– I just brew a very strong 12 cup pot, then let it cool and pop it in the fridge. Lasts for a few days and is really nice to wake up to!}, but doesn’t this coffee smoothie recipe look amazing? I think I need to try that one out sometime this week. YUM. Plus, that Joy the Baker never let’s me down. Love her every which way.
I finally am finding time to read blogs! For awhile there I was struggling. My favorite lately is Camp Patton. Girlfriend for real cracks me up. But I feel like I need more? I feel like my feed is empty lately {probably because SUMMER, but still.} Got any favorite reads for me?
This pin board. And really, all of Kate’s pinterest boards.
This etsy shop! WANT IT ALL.
Favorite instagram feeds… one. two. three. four. five.
And last, but certainly not least: FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
YOU GUYS. This show is the absolute best. I just want to hug every single character and yell CLEAR EYES FULL HEARTS CAN’T LOSE at the top of my lungs when I get out of bed every morning. We are in the middle of season 2, and just like my angst over the end of summer, I can feel my angst over the last episode of FNL, too. I just never ever want it to end. Make it last, make it laaaaaaast.
Texas {and Tim Riggins} forever, and have a Happy Monday, y’all.
